Crisis Skylight South Yorkshire

Our volunteers support us in our goal to end homelessness by encouraging and motivating members in our classes and helping them to build confidence, supporting our members to manage and sustain their tenancy or helping behind the scenes to ensure our team can do their job. Our volunteers time matters and they are an inspiration to all of us. Even this photo was taken by a volunteer.

Preparations are well underway now for the annual Volunteers Walk in Rotherham that takes place during Volunteers Week. The walk is a great way to celebrate the fantastic contributions of volunteers across Rotherham, and this year the theme is ‘making a difference-be inspired’. Organised by Voluntary Action Rotherham, the walk starts and finishes at Rotherham Minster and this year is on Thursday 6th June at 12noon. Crisis is one of the partners involved in the planning and preparation for the walk and this year a team of staff and members have been busy volunteering; packing goody bags for the walk participants. The team will also be meeting and greeting participants on the day as they register and as they finish to give them their medals.

Crisis Skylight South Yorkshire were visited by Managers from the Co-op who presented us with a cheque for an amazing amount of £11,103.00 We are lucky to be the chosen recipients of a year’s fundraising by their staff and customers; all with an aim to help us end homelessness. It was great to meet with the team and tell them more about our work, as well as discuss ways that they can continue to support us moving forwards. A massive thank you to the Co-op for all their fundraising and we look forward to working with you in 2019.
